Why Do the Poles Experience 6 Months of Day and 6 Months of Night?

Our planet has a unique beauty and a balance of life that has been going on for many years. The motion of the Sun and around itself is the key point to the Sun. distance and many more factors that overwhelm themselves for us. livable makes it. But all this brings with it many question marks about our planet.

Although these reach very confusing dimensions, we are primarily in this content. mixed a subject that may seem but is actually quite simple, day and night Let’s talk about the length of time. Without further ado, let’s get started.

Our Earth does not stand upright in the orbit of the Sun:

Instead, by orbit 23 degrees We stand obliquely at an angle. This causes places on our planet to look at the Sun in different ways. for example equator region gets warmer as it receives sunlight before and continuously from other places.

But because of the axial tilt we mentioned poles a little more than the sun remains oblique and they see fewer sun faces. Likewise, due to this inclination, the night and day levels are considerably longer.

The weather is pleasant for us. But because of its axial tilt, when one pole faces the Sun, the other is facing the dark side:

the sun certain hours We see it in range and then it sinks. Because our country moves to the region that does not receive light after a certain hour due to the rotation of the Earth, and this repeats every 24 hours.

But the poles face either towards the Sun for a long part of the year or into the darkness:

When I say ‘a long time’ here, it’s about six bears we mean. In this context, on September 23 and March 21, the sun’s rays hit the equator. upright income and with it the six-month day-night period begins for both poles.

september 23 The sun’s rays begin to come perpendicular to the Southern Hemisphere region. For this reason, the duration of the day is longer here. In the Northern Hemisphere, the opposite happens and the days begin to shorten. In this context, we autumn a 6-month long haul in the North Pole. night period begins. At the same time, the opposite happens at the South Pole, with 6 months of daylight.

On March 21, we will see the opposite. Additionally, on both dates, the Sun’s rays reach both poles.

This time we to the spring we enter. In the Northern Hemisphere, the days are getting longer, so the North Pole receives more sunlight. In this context, the 6-month daylight period is now seen in the North Pole, while the South Pole is also 6 month night period passes.

Finally, let us state that in 5 months of this 6-month period (according to the pole), twilight is observed at both poles, and in 1 month, at both poles.
